NowG1161 there wereG2258 inG2596 the churchG1577 that wasG5607 atG1722 AntiochG490 certainG5100 prophetsG4396 andG2532 teachersG1320; asG5037 BarnabasG921, andG2532 SimeonG4826 that was calledG2564 NigerG3526, andG2532 LuciusG3066 of CyreneG2956, andG5037 ManaenG3127, which had been brought upG4939 with HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076, andG2532 SaulG4569. {which…: or, Herod's foster brother}
AsG1161 theyG846 ministeredG3008 to the LordG2962, andG2532 fastedG3522, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 saidG2036+G1211, SeparateG873 meG3427+G5037 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 forG1519 the workG2041 whereuntoG3739 I have calledG4341 themG846.
AndG5119 when they had fastedG3522 andG2532 prayedG4336, andG2532 laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007 themG846, they sent them awayG630.
SoG3303+G3767 theyG3778, being sent forthG1599 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, departedG2718 untoG1519 SeleuciaG4581; and fromG1564 thenceG5037 they sailedG636 toG1519 CyprusG2954.
AndG2532 when they wereG1096 atG1722 SalamisG4529, they preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 of the JewsG2453: andG1161 they hadG2192 alsoG2532 JohnG2491 to their ministerG5257.
AndG1161 when they had gone throughG1330 the isleG3520 untoG891 PaphosG3974, they foundG2147 a certainG5100 sorcererG3097, a false prophetG5578, a JewG2453, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was BarjesusG919:
WhichG3739 wasG2258 withG4862 the deputy of the countryG446, SergiusG4588 PaulusG3972, a prudentG4908 manG435; whoG3778 calledG4341 for BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569, and desiredG1934 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 ElymasG1681 the sorcererG3097 (forG1063 soG3779 is hisG846 nameG3686 by interpretationG3177) withstoodG436 themG846, seekingG2212 to turn awayG1294 the deputyG446 fromG575 the faithG4102.
ThenG1161 SaulG4569, (whoG3588 alsoG2532 is called PaulG3972,) filled withG4130 the HolyG40 GhostG4151+G2532, set his eyesG816 onG1519 himG846,
And saidG2036, OG5599 fullG4134 of allG3956 subtiltyG1388 andG2532 allG3956 mischiefG4468, thou childG5207 of the devilG1228, thou enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, wilt thouG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to pervertG1294 the rightG2117 waysG3598 of the LordG2962?
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, the handG5495 of the LordG2962 is uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 thou shalt beG2071 blindG5185, notG3361 seeingG991 the sunG2246 forG891 a seasonG2540. AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 there fellG1968 onG1909 himG846 a mistG887 andG2532 a darknessG4655; andG2532 he went aboutG4013 seekingG2212 some to lead him by the handG5497.
ThenG5119 the deputyG446, when he sawG1492 what was doneG1096, believedG4100, being astonishedG1605 atG1909 the doctrineG1322 of the LordG2962.
NowG1161 when PaulG3972 and his companyG4012 loosedG321 fromG575 PaphosG3974, they cameG2064 toG1519 PergaG4011 in PamphyliaG3828: andG1161 JohnG2491 departingG672 fromG575 themG846 returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2414.
ButG1161 when theyG846 departedG1330 fromG575 PergaG4011, they cameG3854 toG1519 AntiochG490 in PisidiaG4099, andG2532 wentG1525 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 on the sabbathG4521 dayG2250, and sat downG2523.
AndG1161 afterG3326 the readingG320 of the lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396 the rulers of the synagogueG752 sentG649 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, Ye menG435 and brethrenG80, ifG1487 ye haveG2076+G1722+G5213 any wordG3056 of exhortationG3874 forG4314 the peopleG2992, say onG3004.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 stood upG450, andG2532 beckoningG2678 with his handG5495 saidG2036, MenG435 of IsraelG2475, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 GodG2316, give audienceG191.
The GodG2316 of thisG5127 peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474 choseG1586 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 exaltedG5312 the peopleG2992 whenG1722 they dwelt as strangersG3940 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 withG3326 an highG5308 armG1023 brought heG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 itG846.
AndG2532 aboutG5613 the timeG5550 of forty yearsG5063 suffered heG5159 theirG846 mannersG5159 inG1722 the wildernessG2048. {suffered…: or bore, or fed them as a nurse beareth, or feedeth, her child}
AndG2532 when he had destroyedG2507 sevenG2033 nationsG1484 inG1722 the landG1093 of ChanaanG5477, he dividedG2624 theirG846 landG1093 to themG846 by lotG2624.
AndG2532 afterG3326 thatG5023 he gaveG1325 unto them judgesG2923 aboutG5613 the space of four hundredG5071 andG2532 fiftyG4004 yearsG2094, untilG2193 SamuelG4545 the prophetG4396.
And afterwardG2547 they desiredG154 a kingG935: andG2532 GodG2316 gaveG1325 unto themG846 SaulG4549 the sonG5207 of CisG2797, a manG435 ofG1537 the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, by the space of fortyG5062 yearsG2094.
AndG2532 when he had removedG3179 himG846, he raised upG1453 unto themG846 DavidG1138 to beG1519 their kingG935; to whomG3739 alsoG2532 he gave testimonyG3140, and saidG2036, I have foundG2147 DavidG1138 the son of JesseG2421, a manG435 afterG2596 mine ownG3450 heartG2588, whichG3739 shall fulfilG4160 allG3956 myG3450 willG2307.
OfG575 this man'sG5127 seedG4690 hathG1453 GodG2316 accordingG2596 to his promiseG1860 raisedG1453 unto IsraelG2474 a SaviourG4990, JesusG2424:
When JohnG2491 had first preachedG4296 beforeG4253 hisG846 comingG4383+G1529 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474.
AndG1161 asG5613 JohnG2491 fulfilledG4137 his courseG1408, he saidG3004, WhomG5101 think yeG5282 that IG3165 amG1511? IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 he. ButG235, beholdG2400, there cometh oneG2064 afterG3326 meG1691, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 of his feetG4228 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to looseG3089.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, childrenG5207 of the stockG1085 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 whosoever amongG1722 youG5213 fearethG5399 GodG2316, to youG5213 isG649 the wordG3056 of thisG5026 salvationG4991 sentG649.
ForG1063 they that dwellG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 theirG846 rulersG758, because they knewG50 himG5126 notG50, nor yetG2532 the voicesG5456 of the prophetsG4396 whichG3588 are readG314+G2596 everyG3956 sabbath dayG4521, they have fulfilledG4137 them in condemningG2919 him.
AndG2532 though they foundG2147 noG3367 causeG156 of deathG2288 in him, yet desired theyG154 PilateG4091 that heG846 should be slainG337.
AndG1161 whenG5613 they had fulfilledG5055 allG537 that was writtenG1125 ofG4012 himG846, they took him downG2507 fromG575 the treeG3586, and laidG5087 him inG1519 a sepulchreG3419.
ButG1161 GodG2316 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498:
And heG3739 was seenG3700 manyG1909+G4119 daysG2250 of them which came up withG4872 himG846 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, whoG3748 areG1526 hisG846 witnessesG3144 untoG4314 the peopleG2992.
AndG2532 weG2249 declareG2097 unto youG5209 glad tidingsG2097, how thatG3754 the promiseG1860 which was madeG1096 untoG4314 the fathersG3962,
GodG2316 hath fulfilledG1603 the sameG5026 unto usG2254 theirG846 childrenG5043, in that he hath raised upG450 JesusG2424 againG450; asG5613 it isG1125 alsoG2532 writtenG1125 inG1722 the secondG1208 psalmG5568, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, this dayG4594 have IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571.
AndG1161 as concerning thatG3754 he raisedG450 himG846 upG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, now no moreG3371 toG3195 returnG5290 toG1519 corruptionG1312, he saidG2046 on this wiseG3779+G3754, I will giveG1325 youG5213 the sureG4103 merciesG3741 of DavidG1138. {mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 psalm, Thou shaltG1325 notG3756 sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ForG1063+G3303 DavidG1138, after he had servedG5256 his ownG2398 generationG1074 by the willG1012 of GodG2316, fell on sleepG2837, andG2532 was laidG4369 untoG4314 hisG846 fathersG3962, andG2532 sawG1492 corruptionG1312: {after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}
ButG1161 he, whomG3739 GodG2316 raised againG1453, sawG1492 noG3756 corruptionG1312.
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 thereforeG3767, menG435 and brethrenG80, thatG3754 throughG1223 this manG5127 is preachedG2605 unto youG5213 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
AndG2532 byG1722 himG5129 allG3956 that believeG4100 are justifiedG1344 fromG575 all thingsG3956, from whichG3739 ye couldG1410 notG3756 be justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475.
BewareG991 thereforeG3767, lest thatG3361 comeG1904 uponG1909 youG5209, which is spoken ofG2046 inG1722 the prophetsG4396;
BeholdG1492, ye despisersG2707, andG2532 wonderG2296, andG2532 perishG853: forG3754 IG1473 workG2038 a workG2041 inG1722 yourG5216 daysG2250, a workG2041 whichG3739 ye shallG4100 in no wiseG3364 believeG4100, thoughG1437 a manG5100 declare itG1555 unto youG5213.
AndG1161 when the JewsG2453 were goneG1826 out ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, the GentilesG1484 besoughtG3870 that theseG5023 wordsG4487 might be preachedG2980 to themG846+G1519 the nextG3342 sabbathG4521. {the next…: Gr. in the week between, or, in the sabbath between}
NowG1161 when the congregationG4864 was broken upG3089, manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 andG2532 religiousG4576 proselytesG4339 followedG190 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921: whoG3748, speakingG4354 to themG846, persuadedG3982 themG846 to continueG1961 in the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 the nextG2064 sabbath dayG4521 cameG4863 almostG4975 the wholeG3956 cityG4172 togetherG4863 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 when the JewsG2453 sawG1492 the multitudesG3793, they were filledG4130 with envyG2205, andG2532 spake againstG483 those things which were spokenG3004 byG5259 PaulG3972, contradictingG483 andG2532 blasphemingG987.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 waxed boldG3955, and saidG2036, It wasG2258 necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 shouldG2980 firstG4412 have been spokenG2980 to youG5213: butG1161 seeingG1894 ye putG683 itG846 from youG683, andG2532 judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG3756+G514 of everlastingG166 lifeG2222, loG2400, we turnG4762 toG1519 the GentilesG1484.
ForG1063 soG3779 hathG1781 the LordG2962 commandedG1781 usG2254, saying, I have setG5087 theeG4571 to beG1519 a lightG5457 of the GentilesG1484, that thouG4571 shouldest beG1511 forG1519 salvationG4991 untoG2193 the endsG2078 of the earthG1093.
AndG1161 when the GentilesG1484 heard thisG191, they were gladG5463, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962: andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG2258 ordainedG5021 toG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100.
AndG1161 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 was publishedG1308 throughoutG1223 allG3650 the regionG5561.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 stirred upG3951 the devoutG4576 andG2532 honourableG2158 womenG1135, andG2532 the chief menG4413 of the cityG4172, andG2532 raisedG1892 persecutionG1375 againstG1909 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 expelledG1544 themG846 out ofG575 theirG846 coastsG3725.
ButG1161 they shook offG1621 the dustG2868 of theirG846 feetG4228 againstG1909 themG846, and cameG2064 untoG1519 IconiumG2430.
AndG1161 the disciplesG3101 were filled withG4137 joyG5479, andG2532 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151.

ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
And when thy daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall proceedH3318 out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467.
Unto youG5213 firstG4412 GodG2316, having raised upG450 hisG846 SonG3816 JesusG2424, sentG649 himG846 to blessG2127 youG5209, inG1722 turning awayG654 every oneG1538 of youG5216 fromG575 his iniquitiesG4189.
OnceH259 have I swornH7650 by my holinessH6944 that I will not lieH3576 unto DavidH1732. {that…: Heb. if I lie}
His seedH2233 shall endure for everH5769, and his throneH3678 as the sunH8121 before me.
It shall be establishedH3559 for everH5769 as the moonH3394, and as a faithfulH539 witnessH5707 in heavenH7834. SelahH5542.
NeitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 salvationG4991 inG1722 anyG3762 otherG243: forG1063 there isG2076 noneG3777 otherG2087 nameG3686 underG5259 heavenG3772 givenG1325 amongG1722 menG444, wherebyG1722+G3739 weG2248 mustG1163 be savedG4982.
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 in truthH571 unto DavidH1732; he will not turnH7725 from it; Of the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990 will I setH7896 upon thy throneH3678. {body: Heb. belly}
The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 raised upG1453 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 slewG1315 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye now, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; Is it a small thingH4592 for you to wearyH3811 menH582, but will ye wearyH3811 my GodH430 also?
HimG5126 hath GodG2316 exaltedG5312 with hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, for to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266.
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
TellH5046 ye, and bring them nearH5066; yea, let them take counselH3289 togetherH3162: who hath declaredH8085 this from ancient timeH6924? who hath toldH5046 it from that time? have not I the LORDH3068? and there is no GodH430 else besideH1107 me; a justH6662 GodH410 and a SaviourH3467; there is noneH369 besideH2108 me.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: behold, thy KingH4428 comethH935 unto thee: he is justH6662, and having salvationH3467; lowlyH6041, and ridingH7392 upon an assH2543, and upon a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of an assH860. {having…: or, saving himself}
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
In those daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be savedH3467, and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be calledH7121, The LORD our righteousnessH3072. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DavidH1732 shall neverH3808 wantH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {David…: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400, I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097 of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071 to allG3956 peopleG2992.
In that dayH3117 will I raise upH6965 the tabernacleH5521 of DavidH1732 that is fallenH5307, and close upH1443 the breachesH6556 thereof; and I will raise upH6965 his ruinsH2034, and I will buildH1129 it as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769: {close: Heb. hedge, or, wall}
ForG3754 unto youG5213 is bornG5088 this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 the LordG2962.
The bookG976 of the generationG1078 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the sonG5207 of DavidG1138, the sonG5207 of AbrahamG11.
AndG5037 saidG3004 unto the womanG1135+G3754, NowG3765 we believeG4100, notG3754 becauseG1223 of thyG4674 sayingG2981: forG1063 we have heardG191 him ourselvesG846, andG2532 knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 indeedG230 the ChristG5547, the SaviourG4990 of the worldG2889.
AndG1161 the multitudesG3793 that went beforeG4254, andG2532 that followedG190, criedG2896, sayingG3004, HosannaG5614 to the SonG5207 of DavidG1138: BlessedG2127 is he that comethG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962; HosannaG5614 inG1722 the highestG5310.
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
SayingG3004, WhatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213 ofG4012 ChristG5547? whoseG5101 sonG5207 is heG2076? They sayG3004 unto himG846, The Son of DavidG1138.
To TitusG5103, mine ownG1103 sonG5043 afterG2596 the commonG2839 faithG4102: GraceG5485, mercyG1656, and peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thou shalt conceiveG4815 inG1722 thy wombG1064, andG2532 bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424.
HeG3778 shall beG2071 greatG3173, andG2532 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of the HighestG5310: andG2532 the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall giveG1325 unto himG846 the throneG2362 of hisG846 fatherG3962 DavidG1138:
AndG2532 he shall reignG936 overG1909 the houseG3624 of JacobG2384 forG1519 everG165; andG2532 of hisG846 kingdomG932 there shall beG2071 noG3756 endG5056.
NotG3361 purloiningG3557, butG235 shewingG1731 allG3956 goodG18 fidelityG4102; thatG2443 they may adornG2885 the doctrineG1319 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
ForG1063 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 that bringeth salvationG4992 hath appearedG2014 to allG3956 menG444, {hath…: or, to all men, hath appeared}
TeachingG3811 usG2248 thatG2443, denyingG720 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 worldlyG2886 lustsG1939, we should liveG2198 soberlyG4996+G2532, righteouslyG1346, andG2532 godlyG2153, inG1722 this presentG3568 worldG165;
Looking forG4327 that blessedG3107 hopeG1680, andG2532 the gloriousG1391 appearingG2015 of the greatG3173 GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; {glorious…: Gr. the appearance of the glory of the great God, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ}
WhoG3739 gaveG1325 himselfG1438 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443 he might redeemG3084 usG2248 fromG575 allG3956 iniquityG458, andG2532 purifyG2511 unto himselfG1438 a peculiarG4041 peopleG2992, zealousG2207 of goodG2570 worksG2041.
AndG2532 hath raised upG1453 an hornG2768 of salvationG4991 for usG2254 inG1722 the houseG3624 of hisG846 servantG3816 DavidG1138;
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
Hath notG3780 the scriptureG1124 saidG2036, ThatG3754 ChristG5547 comethG2064 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138, andG2532 out ofG575 the townG2968 of BethlehemG965, whereG3699 DavidG1138 wasG2258?
SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG2975 like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG2254 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour}
ConcerningG4012 hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962, whichG3588 was madeG1096 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561;
ForG1063 soG3779 an entranceG1529 shall be ministeredG2023 unto youG5213 abundantlyG4146 intoG1519 the everlastingG166 kingdomG932 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
IG1473 JesusG2424 have sentG3992 mineG3450 angelG32 to testifyG3140 unto youG5213 these thingsG5023 inG1909 the churchesG1577. IG1473 amG1510 the rootG4491 andG2532 the offspringG1085 of DavidG1138, and the brightG2986 andG2532 morningG3720 starG792.
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
That ye may be mindfulG3415 of the wordsG4487 which were spoken beforeG4280 byG5259 the holyG40 prophetsG4396, andG2532 of the commandmentG1785 of usG2257 the apostlesG652 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990:
ButG1161 growG837 inG1722 graceG5485, andG2532 in the knowledgeG1108 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To himG846 be gloryG1391 bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 forG1519 everG165+G2250. AmenG281.
